Default Where should the TF2 Server be located?

When we switched to the 500 FPS server, we also switched locations of the server. The server use to be located in Dallas, but now it's located in Chicago [which is strange, because game-monitors shows it in Jersey]. Anyways, people are getting good frame rates but ping presents itself as an issue at times and some people are saying that the old servers location, was best for all.


Where would it be best for you, to have the server located?


We don't want to leave the UK members in the dust, so we're thinking about changing the fun sever into the UK server [we can move it's location] and attract more UK based players.

Any questions, please ask.

TORONTO!

But seriously, I'd change it to Dallas. Looked like everybody in Canada/USA had a balanced out ping there. And move the fun server to somewhere like Canada.

I used to be able to play on the server with 130 ping but now it just sits at 170 and is completely unplayable.

Somewhere close to the UK would be marvelous

Dallas seems to be the more universal location. Both were pretty good for me in terms of pings. But I noticed less complaints when it was at Dallas.

Besides the choke of course.

Dallas, Texas. It's the most centered and everyone in the US should get decent ping. I hate connecting to severs all the way across the country.

Whichever has the fastest ping and doesn't cause framerate issues.

I think the server is popular enough now that cost isn't a huge issue.
